>>29220669

>>29220669
TOOK LONG ENOUGH

How so?
thank fucking god, 1/4 speed was ridiculous
Holy fucking shit this is already the best gen.
Please God let full paralysis not be a thing anymore. Stop allowing my slow bulky setup sweepers to lose because a Ferrothorn used Thunder Wave on it.
It was either this or change 100% acc parlyz moves to 90%
>>29220669
GAMEFREAK IS FINALLY DOING IT
THEY'RE BREAKING THE CONDITIONING
>clefablefags btfo
good. like half the movies in the game cause paralysis, it shouldn't be so powerful and easy to use.
>>29220804
It used to quarter your speed, now it only halves it
Goddammit.
Wait so what changed exactly
Fuck this. I love spamming thunder wave
>>29220895
Hyper-O fag lmaooooo like nigga run taunt or sumthin ecksdee.
>>29220943
Paralysis cut speed to 25%, now cuts it to 50%
CAN POISON CUT SP. ATK IN HALF NOW?
FUCKING PLEASE?
>scald is next
>>29220669
I say good.
Dropping to 25% speed was too severe on top of the 1/4 chance to do nothing.
>>29221001
>Toxic spikes become more used than Stealth Rocks
>>29221001
No, that's fucking stupid
ATK is meant to more volatile, SPA is meant to be more reliable
Play the fucking game
T-wave should still be nerfed with some accuracy decrease
Better not fucking touch Burn tho
>>29220898
>let's take a bullshit rng mechanic in this bullshit rng game and make it MORE rng based
good thing its not you doing this
So this along with Parental Bond nerf. What else is in store?
>>29220978
>slow bulky setup sweeper
>HO
nigga
>>29221033
>10% Burn chance.
>5 PP.
>70 Accuracy.
>Super Effective on Water types.
>>29220669
So wait,
We're now back to gen 1's "Use Agility to negate speed drop?"
Fucking hell.
Why does a status effect that can force you to skip a turn also have a speed drop effect anyway? That's pretty stupid from a balance perspective.
wouldve been better to keep the speed cut but remove fully paralyzed
rngfreak would never allow that though
Well might as well off myself, then.
>>29221631
Someone doesn't know about paraflinching... aka one of the most annoying things ever.
>>29221129
Well priorityfags are already taking a hit with those two new anti-priority abilities and the new anti-priority, psychic-buffing field move.
I could have sworn it always halved speed. Will this actually mean anything though? Losing half your speed is already pretty rough.
>>29222230
They won't. Field moves have existed since forever and out of all of the shit like Wonder Room and Grass Terrain the only usable one is Trick Room.
I could go on about why Talonflame in its current state will not leave OU but that's not really needed.
>>29222257
It means that fast Pokemon will still have enough speed to beat slowish stuff, the 1/4 cut usually made everything go last
>>29222230
>implying any sensible fuck would actually use those
>>29221174
No, in gen 1 agility made the game not recognize paralysis speed drop and put you at +2 anyways, now it will be agility takes you to effective +0 speed.
>>29222504
>sucker punch-proof psychic
sounds decent to me to be honest
>>29220669
How about paralysis becomes one or the other. Either chance to not move or speed reduction not both, Game Freak
>>29222504
>run a Delphox with Assault Vest and a bunch of hard hitting coverage shit
>sucker punch scary
>set it up with psychic terrain
NOW WHAT, NIGGA
>>29222931
>Assault Vest+ Psychic Terrain
Fuck off Verlis
Are we going to pretend the speed drop was what was imbalaced about paralysis, and not the bullshit 30% chance to do nothing ?
>>29220994
Still OP
>>29222504
>what are auto terrain setters like topu koku
rip in pieces smogon-bird
you lived a life
>>29222504
The Psychic Tapu will get the FUCK PRIORITY Terrain setter as an ability.
>>29223019
To be fair, the 75% speed drop allowed an easier chance to serene grace iron head.
>>29223019
It wasboth.
Now I can't run meme teams full of speed control and wallbreakerswho am i kidding this nerf won't hurt that much.
Mfw pokemon now have a 50% of getting paralyzed instead of 25%
>sneaky pebbles still not nerfed
Wait, wasnt it always 50%? wtf
>>29223291
Bulbapedia: The paralysis condition causes a Pokémon to be unable to attack ("fully paralyzed") a quarter of the time.
>>29223286
>expecting Pokemon to ever nerf The Flintstones
>>29223532
Bullshit i swear it was like 50-75% of the time
>>29222364
We don't need Talonflame to leave OU, it's just nice to have some anti-priority tools as more options to counter it

It means that Dragon Dancers are not completely buttfucked by Paralysis now, only partially.
